Who's the better Joker?

I have yet to see the box office hit, The Dark Knight (seeing it tomorrow), but have heard that the passed actor Heath Ledgar did an amazing job as the Joker.

Now, I ask, who did a better job as the classic comic book villian?

Heath Ledger
Very believeable

Jack Nicholson
Great smile, the original

I'll vote once I see the movie tomorrow.

See Valhalla like never before:

Re: Who's the better Joker?

I haven't seen the movie, but I've watched the trailer, and seen a lot of comercials, and from that ALONE Heath Ledger wins. Think about it, his roll was so Demonic that is killed him o.O

He was in the 1966 Batman movie, too.

Whippersnappers that are the same age as me... no respect for the classic Batman movie I've never seen...

Re: Who's the better Joker?

And each portray the Joker in a different way Nicholson's was more of a funny criminal with a sadistic streak much like the animated series, whereas Ledger's was the darker far more sadistic Joker, who played everyone around him.
